Sophie Stephens was daughter of Doctor Stephens and Sophie Hyland.

The Jesuits bought Tullabeg in 1818 (dedicated it to St Stanislaus) and opened a preparatory school for boys destined to go to Clongowes Wood College, Kildare. St Stanislaus College gradually developed as an educational rival to its sister school. It merged with Clongowes Wood College in 1886. Tullabeg then became a house of Jesuit formation: novitiate (1888-1930), juniorate (1895-1911), tertianship (1911-1927) and philosophate (1930-1962). In 1962, it was decided that the students of philosophy should be sent abroad for study. Tullabeg subsequently became a retreat house and was closed in May 1991.

Lemanaghan schoolhouse was built in the late 19th century and consisted of two rooms with fireplaces. An extension was added to the rear of the building in the late 1950s. The school was closed in 1972 and left unused for approximately 20 years, during which time it fell into disrepair.
